I think you captured it beautifully. Shame it's whole body wasn't in it though.

Black swan it is!! Ive tried photographing them myself and to get a good composition with the whole body in is pretty hard, they seem to have even longer necks than white swans!! So well done :) no idea what the 2nd one is but its a good pic as well

Great captures in my opinion. The second is a male golden pheasant.

I've used some of those feathers for tying flies.

Two good pics, love the Golden pheasant.
